Biography
Arya Zarinsefat, M.D. is an Abdominal Transplant Fellow in the UCSF Department of Surgery. He completed his General Surgery residency training at UCSF in 2022. During his research years, he worked in Sarwal Lab at UCSF and completed the Advanced Training in Clinical Research certificate program through the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
Dr. Zarinsefat obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University completed his medical education at the University of Michigan, where he demonstrated early commitment to research by utilizing analytic morphometrics to predict perioperative outcomes. He excelled academically and clinically, and was selected to the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He continued to excel at UCSF during his general surgery residency. Dr. Zarinsefat was co-mentored by Dr. Minnie Sarwal (expertise with next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics) and Dr. Peter Stock (transplant surgery in HIV positive recipients) during his research years. Dr. Stock has tapped him to establish a university-wide database of all HIV-infected transplant recipients, and to follow their long term outcomes.
